A blog about hoodies & t-shirts, with news from the independent clothing world


I have no idea why I like this tee so much, but I think it’s pretty beautiful.

Oh Hayden, you pint-sized hero you, are you having a little jab at the paparazzi by wearing a t-shirt that has a camera on it? I’ve got no idea where she (or her stylist) got the tee, but this one from Amorphia Apparel looks pretty cool.


Four things:

1) It’s end of summer party time! And you know what that means, everyone gets a free pair of 80s style sunglasses in their order, obviously! You can even pick the colour (see one of the gallery pictures for available options), just leave a comment when making the order via paypal. This offer lasts until 21/9. To see a picture of my looking douche-y wearing the previously mentioned sunglasses, click here.

2) The ongoing contest in which you could win Shark Week & TMNT DVDs and TMNT action figures is coming to a close (also on 21/9), I think that you are automatically entered if you make an order in the store.

3) Coupon codes! I think that HIDEYOURARMS might work, but I can’t remember if that’s the code for 10% off. The code AWESOME will definitely get you 10% off though.

4) There are three new designs (Soakers n’ Skulls, Doodle Bolt on aqua, and Doodle Bolt on gold) that are on pre-order, hopefully shipping in early October.

I can’t believe I’ve never seen anyone do a promo picture for their shirts in this style, I love stuff like this. I guess it doesn’t line up quite perfectly, unless the poor girl has some kind of drastic problem with her right arm, but its still a really cool photo. Tee producers, consider yourself inspired for your next photoshoot!

Ugmonk have been posted e-ver-y-where recently with the white tee up there, Lowercase, but let’s not just give attention to the popular kid, it can’t all be Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!, Jeff Sheldon (Ugmonk creator) has put together a great first mini-season, who decided to launch his own brand following after whetting his appetite with design contests.

Here’s a mini-blurb that gives you a decent idea for what Ugmonk is about:

With the market being oversaturated with complex, crazy designs, Ugmonk’s mission is to provide simple yet fresh designs through various products.

Mission accomplished I’d say!

I’m sure this is one of those instances when I’m going to get accused of being a t-shirt snob (I write about tees, of course I’m a snob!). I wouldn’t actually wear this tee from KosherHam, and not just because its way too small for me, I’m just not too into tees with this kind of phrase on it, but I know there’s a big massive market for this kind of thing, so I can’t just ignore them.

I’ve noticed that a couple of my friends parents are on Facebook, what’s all that about? It might seem odd to me because my parents can barely use e-mail (I’m requested to read all of them before sending to make sure they’re ‘right’), but there’s just something a little bit weird about the idea of middle-aged people posting on each other’s walls and tagging each other in photo’s, and I don’t even want to think about what would happen if they found out about some of the dumbass applications that are floating around out there. I guess that on a certain level, I do find a tee like this kinda funny, but I think that the part that’s funny is that someone would have the audacity to wear a t-shirt suggesting that the wearer would “poke your mom” and not just on Facebook. I guess it takes a very, very special kind of person to pull off wearing a tee like this, and I don’t think I’m that special yet.

Usually, when you see a tee with a joke like this on, you aren’t really expecting much in terms of quality. Facebook are the current over-valued flavour of the month in the web-world, and you’d expect this to be an equally flavour of the month style t-shirt. But its not, the quality level is impressive, its printed on an American Apparel blank t-shirt, and the printing quality feels top notch. Oh, and of course, KosherHam have their own page on Facebook.

(Rumplo Rocks is an ongoing feature in which I post shirts that I’ve found via the rather excellent tee-sharing site, Rumplo)

I really love the contrasts of the colours and the lines in this tee. It’s also a great example of a t-shirt that has a graphic on it that you wouldn’t expect to work on a tee, but it does.

Orange is the new tan yellow t-shirt by Flippin Sweet Gear

Here’s a tee for all the ganguro girls out there, and the increasingly large amount of tanorexic women that would rather risk skin cancer than remain healthy and pasty white. I can hardly talk though, I turned myself pink after sunbathing in the park on Monday.Available from Flippin Sweet Gear

Ice Wizard by Seibei

David has put up a few new items and colourways into the Seibei store… rejoice!

The first thing to get refreshed is the Ice Wizard hoodie (which I first reviewed back in March last year) which is now available in a ‘Red Baron‘ colourway of red/white, and a there is also the ‘Blockhead edition‘ for those of you that have a yearning to look like a bumblebee. The new hoodies have drawstrings that match the vinyl trim colours too, which is cool because I know that there had been a problem with sourcing decent coloured drawstrings in the past.

I like to say stuff and eat things by Seibei

I like to say stuff and eat things” has been completely reworked and looks awesome, I really love the gradient print and putting it on a striped tee is a bold move, but I think it works pretty well.
Superpredators by Seibei

I can’t remember if ‘Superpredators’ is new or not, it might be the case that it has just been a work-in-progress for such a long time that I just presumed it had made its way into the store at some point. Either way, its a massive dinosaur on a t-shirt, and that can’t be a bad thing. [available in Mint or Pink]
Fierce by Seibei

Last but not least, there’s Fierce, which involves a three-headed dog wearing a gold chain, about to eat some diamonds… naturally.
